Thanks Gary, I agree. I’ve always seen my dark images as hopeful, not depressing!

It’s a wonderful poem, popular during the latter parts of the 1800′s.

Interesting… I wish I knew at 14 that I wanted to be a photographer. I didn’t conclude that until I was in my 50′s and already near retirement from one career.

I do have to say that, for me, the more optimistic “captains of our souls” side of your photography shows though strongly. I find that the “darkness” just seems to set a context that frames a “mastery of your fate.”
